UK’s Chevening Scholarship 2025 Now Accepting Applications in Pakistan

Thinking about studying in the UK but worried about the expenses? Good news — the UK Government’s Chevening Scholarship is now accepting applications from Pakistanis. The deadline to apply is October 7, 2025.

This isn’t your average scholarship. Chevening covers everything — from tuition fees and flights to a monthly stipend that takes care of your living expenses. It even helps with visa and accommodation costs.

Basically, if you get selected, you don’t pay a single rupee out of pocket.

Who Can Apply for a Chevening Scholarship?

• Must be a citizen of Pakistan (or any eligible Chevening country).
  
• Should have completed an undergraduate degree (equivalent to a UK bachelor’s).
  
• Must have at least 2 years (or 2,800 hours) of work experience.
  
• Should be planning to return to Pakistan for at least two years after the scholarship ends.
  
• Must apply to three different eligible UK university courses and get at least one unconditional offer.
  
• You shouldn’t have studied in the UK before under any scholarship paid for by the UK government.
  
• People who’ve stepped up as leaders, helped their communities, or taken part in volunteer work are strongly preferred.
  
• You must be comfortable expressing yourself in English — not just in writing, but also when speaking during interview

Why Does the UK Do This?

Here’s the interesting part: It’s not just about education. The UK wants to build strong relationships with future leaders around the world. That’s why they’ve been running Chevening for over 40 years.

British High Commissioner Jane Marriott put it simply:

“If you’re passionate and ready to lead — this is for you. It’s more than a degree; it’s a launchpad.”

And she’s not wrong. Alumni of this program are now working in top government positions, media, tech, and civil society — not just in Pakistan, but all over the world.
